    A Harrogate village bridge is to fully close tomorrow for five weeks of repair work costing £60,000.

    North Yorkshire Council closed the grade two listed Hampsthwaite Bridge suddenly on June 2.

    It quickly re-opened to pedestrians and cyclists but has remained closed to vehicles.

    Now it is expected to be fully inaccessible until September.

    The bridge, on Church Lane, has three arches spanning the River Nidd.

    Councillor Keane Duncan, the Conservative executive member for highways and transport, said:

    “On inspection of Hampsthwaite Bridge, our engineers found that the parapet has been pushed out over the edge of the bridge deck and this has damaged several of the corbels that support from beneath.
    “These need to be repaired and 15 metres of the parapet taken down and rebuilt using hot mixed lime mortar.”


    The bridge, which links Hampsthwaite with Clint, is popular with pedestrians, dog walkers, cyclists and runners.

    Cllr Michael Harrison, a Conservative who represents Hampsthwaite on the council, said:

    “We appreciate the disruption the closure is having on road users so please be assured that our engineers have been getting plans in motion to carry out the repairs as quickly as possible.
    "We will keep the public updated on the works as they progress.”
